"Watertown is overpriced for real estate. There are few attractions in the area. The city simply exists because the farmers live in this part of the country. "

"I'm not a fan of living here. the crime rates are pretty high. The chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime in Watertown is 1 in 49. Based on FBI crime data, Watertown is not one of the safest communities in America. Relative to South Dakota, Watertown has a crime rate that is higher than 88% of the state's cities and towns of all sizes. my neighbors aren't friendly and I dont see a lot of animals out for walks"

"I very rarely see people out with their dogs. I'm not sure why that is, it could just be the neighborhood I'm in. But the neighborhood kids around here tend to be a bit tough with animals."
